A member asked:
Can my baby get oral herpes from another baby in the play group?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Herpes(oral) is very common and is easily spread from person to person. It is spread by mucous droplets or direct contact to the herpes sores. You can't prevent everything and most cases are relatively minor. However very young babies can have other complications from the virus.
